The open boat day in Edinburgh was a brilliant success, so we're having another one - this time in Greenock, near Glasgow (map). For a guided tour around a working Greenpeace ship, come along to Custom House Quays at Greenock Docks between 11am and 4pm on Sunday 25th February - hope to see you there!

Should the EC ban illegal timber? You decide!
